   ### Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge?
   
   When executing `select date_format(values, patterns) from t`, people often 
expect the output column to be named with the function name `date_format`. 
However, the actual is `to_char`:
   
   
https://github.com/apache/datafusion/blob/9942ecd4ac791c26546db8d8bf6ae674006a49fc/datafusion-examples/examples/date_time_functions.rs#L486-L505
   
   This might cause some confusion, if people don't know `date_format` is 
aliased to `to_char`, and brings poor experience.
   
   ### Describe the solution you'd like
   
   As title, instead of showing the actual executing function's 
name("`to_char`"), showing its alias("`date_format`").
   
   ### Describe alternatives you've considered
